Moths Flocking to the Light
"When will the nuclear warheads they carry be ready for use?"
During the fierce battle, Alice, upon receiving the news, turned grave and stepped back, coldly shouting.
Countess Lara stepped forward with perfect understanding. With a flick of her wrists, red and black blades appeared on her arms, and a pair of Vanguard rushed forward were impaled in the head and pinned to the ground.
Meanwhile, Ada Wong, piloting a silver-white fighter jet, executed a beautiful cobra maneuver, changing angle and blasting a Dark Elves ship that was trying to cause trouble into the air.
Meanwhile, the duo of killers Chris and Leon, former Wolf Pack Squad members Kyoko Yamaya, Wolf Mom, Hank, and old buddies like the black officers James and Barry all moved closer to Alice's area, giving their instructors a quiet space to talk.
There's trouble! The moon has deviated from its orbit and is approaching Earth, severely affecting tidal forces and the celestial magnetic field!
Skynet's mechanical and electronic properties naturally make it the most severely restrained party.
And even if we bring in most of the super Artificial Intelligence, it will take at least an hour for the White Queen to collect the data and re-edit the algorithm!
As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. Di Lena, who is in charge of bombarding the Solar Flare, Hexi, who can access the Stellar Energy and simulate using the Heavenly Blade Judgment, are both caught in fierce battles and have no time to spare.
In other words, in order to block the growing Titan Star army from advancing northward in South America, the Wolf Pack Squad will hold out along the Panama Canal for at least an hour.
Furthermore, they must guard against the ranged attacks of the Dark Elves, the serpent of the Atlantic Ocean, and the ever-growing tsunamis of the Pacific Ocean.
What a mess! Alice thought of her Wolf Pack Squad of less than a thousand men and the demoralized South American fleet, her forehead throbbing with pain, and she couldn't help but curse inwardly.
At present, the Wolf Pack Squad's combat strength is indeed not weak. After fully integrating the Blacklight Virus, they are comparable to Asa's Royal Guard, and even have slightly better weaponry.
However, this small force will eventually be exhausted when facing hundreds of thousands of Vanguard and thousands of giants.
As for the Pegasus fighter jet that just distinguished itself, it is the pinnacle of Stark Industries' technology, and there are fewer than 500 of them worldwide.
Thanks to Kevin's connections, the Wolf Pack Squad, whose members mostly had military experience, was largely purged.
However, this was woefully inadequate for the vast fleets of Dark Elves and Chitauri, which numbered in the tens of thousands.
Currently, South America is not a target for Titan Star's offensive because of its limited firepower.
However, once the two sides clash and the battle intensifies, the Pegasus fighter group, which is frequently exposed, will likely face heavy attacks from the Dark Elves and Titan Race fleets.
I don't know how long it can last...
Where are the reinforcements?
Alice sighed silently. The piercing wind around her made the War Goddess instinctively reach out and pull out an invisible Vanguard, then slam it to the ground and smash it into a pulp.
On the battlefield repeatedly battered by the Vanguard, several "sea-suppressing reefs" that stood firm continued to stir up blood-red waves.
Alice wiped the blood from her face, glanced at the shadows gathering over the Atlantic Ocean, and then her gaze swept northward.
Immediately, the lithe, cheetah-like body charged forward, rock spears, bone spikes, sharp blades, and shockwaves forming a bloody inferno with a radius of one hundred meters, forcefully halting the Vanguard's charge.
Little one, we believe what you say...
Meanwhile, in Tokyo.
Outside the swaying red and black illusory particle barrier, two Cursed Warriors and hundreds of aircraft burst out of the hatch and were launched towards the "isolated island" several kilometers away.
"Boom!"
Zack and Cloud, who had taken off together, were sent flying backward with a sharp whistling sound, their internal injuries aggravated.
Dozens of corrupted angels, including Genesis and Angel, were like small boats on a stormy night, constantly on the verge of capsizing under the onslaught of the Titan Alliance.
"SCP World Tree Squad, Far East Branch Valkyrie, Amamiya City Spirits, where are you?"
"Anything is fine! Reinforcements! I need reinforcements!"
With the bloodstains dried in his left eye socket, Lufus flapped his black wings, veins bulging on his forehead, his composure completely gone. His roar into the communicator was hysterical.
After a brief rustling sound, a strained response came from inside.
"They have a more important mission. Please, you must protect the underground extension facilities of Shinra and World Tree Company!"
Lufus stared at Reno, who lay on the ground lifeless, and Wesker, who was blown to pieces and struggling to piece himself back together. His eyes were bloodshot and blood gushed from his sockets.
"A mission? Are we supposed to wait until everyone here is dead before we make our move?"
Even if everyone dies, you must hold out!
Hatsune Miku on the other end of the communicator unleashed a cold, sharp voice.
"Waiting for the Ark to open is humanity's only chance to win!"
"It's worth it no matter how many lives are lost to achieve this goal!"
After speaking, Her Princess, aboard the SCP Foundation flagship [Genesis], hung up the communication.
"There are still 7 minutes until the next charge. Cover the Big Sister for one more charge! Otherwise, we'll die rather than accept defeat!"
At that moment, behind the Ruins of the Shinra Building, Zack wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, punched and bent half of a lamppost beside him, his handsome face contorted with rage.
"This time, I'm leading the team!"
With bloodshot eyes and a hoarse voice, Lufus and charged forward without saying a word.
The few remaining corrupted angels each injected a tube of Jenova Cells into their bodies, allowing the mutations to occur.
Odin!
Thunder rose and roared, drawing a silver greatsword from the steel giant's body. He then mounted the mechanical warhorse, sword and shield in hand, and charged after the corrupted angel.
Sera, I will protect you, protect this world... even if it costs me my life!
The Valkyrie held the pendant wrapped around her palm, her gaze cold and fierce, revealing a madness born of desperation.
MIKU stared blankly at the buttons on the control panel for a moment, then slumped back in her seat, the green Hello robot in her arms squeezing and creaking.
Calm down... calm down... don't let a few death statistics sway you.
Compared to other possible outcomes, this is currently the path we've taken with the fewest casualties.
It's just a few people, isn't it? The Four Islands of Japan are like parasites that have been infested with Jenova Cells.
They are not sacrificing, but... atoneing...
Damn it, how much longer! Why did something go wrong up there too!
Unable to deceive herself any longer, the Diva princess kicked the control panel, and a certain channel on the interface suddenly lit up.
It's finally here!
At that moment, a colossal dragon with wings ablaze with flames plummeted from the starry sky, crashing into the Weilan planet.
Chapter 953, Section 996: Moths Flying Towards the Light
The moon was a scene of utter devastation, with countless pieces of metallic debris floating everywhere.
Occasionally, various types of Honkai Beast would swoop down, snatch up the Dark Elves soldiers who were not yet completely dead, and brutally chew them up.
"Bang!"
On the wrecked Titan command ship, a still-wriggling octopus-faced head was crushed by a pair of flame-splattered war boots.
Finally... it's over...
The group of Herrscher supported each other, panting heavily. Even someone as strong as Fu Hua couldn't help but cough violently, her lips and teeth filled with a metallic taste.
The Moonlight Throne Fleet was originally the elite force responsible for annihilating the external Dark Elves fleet, possessing overwhelming superiority.
In order to complete this mission without anyone noticing, the remaining three Space Herrscher, along with one-third of the space and Time Authority on Earth after the start of the war, were all transferred here.
Although the Space Corridor created by the three Herrscher was in place, the localized lockdown was easily completed, and even Thanos is still unaware that his outer space fleet has been completely wiped out.
Moreover, the [Fire Moth], which used spatial teleportation to directly land inside the Dark Elf Warship, did indeed catch the enemy off guard.
But to their surprise, during the close combat, they suddenly discovered...
The most threatening creature in the fleet wasn't Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, nor the Cursed Warrior was chopped to a crisp before he could be transformed, but a dragon...
The enemy of the Asgardian God Clan — the Poison Dragon Hognid!
It was precisely because of this powerful weapon that Thanos dared to entrust the fleet to Ebony Maw's control.
This monster, which dwells in the Land of Fire and Thanos's warship, is actually War Beast created by the Pangu Clan, just like the World Serpent Jörmungandr and the Demon Wolf Fenrir.
Or, in a sense, they have transcended base bestiality and are more like three evil gods!
Since the Second Order Titan Civilization was replaced by the Asgardian God Clan, the Titan Civilization bloodline scattered across the Nine Realms consists of the Frost Giants and Fire Giant.
Unwilling to accept defeat, they always hoped to challenge the divine order of Asgard and restore the glory of the Titans.
In response, these creatures awakened three ancient Magical Beast: Hognid, Fenrir, Jörmungandr.
However, Odin foresaw their plan in advance, and after defeating the Frost Giant King Laufey and the Fire Giant King Surtur, he sealed away some of the three Magical Beasts and banished others.
It was during this period that Fenrir, the Giant Wolf, was chained by the Aesir chief god and taken to Asgard, where he was eventually entrusted to his daughter Hela to raise.
However, of the three Magical Beasts, Fenrir, who had been kept in captivity for a long time, was the weakest.
Poison Dragon Hognid secretly absorbed the energy of the Nine Worlds, actually reached the level of a quasi-god-king.
Fu Hua stormed into the command ship, heading straight for Ebony Maw, but nearly met her end at the hands of Hognid's sharp teeth.
However, in the end, this Nine Heavens Xuannü was still more skilled, and despite being injured, she managed to kill the poisonous dragon that was bringing up the rear.
However, this delay meant that the Moonlight Throne's annihilation of the Dark Elves fleet took far longer than the agreed-upon time.
Seeing that the battle was finally over, Raiden Mei breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the command console, and spoke urgently.
"Activate the Holy Ark immediately!"
The Moonlight Throne, hovering above the moon, opened its lower compartment, releasing hundreds of realistic-looking metal devices in all directions.
Metal spheres, resembling blooming flower buds, automatically formed an array, enveloping the Earth's orbit.
Moreover, around the "apple core" inside, there were several million of these things, all produced by Amamiya City and numbered "Manifestation Unit"!
Raiden Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead, her fingers flying across the keyboard as the quantum network Prometheus participated in the calculations.
As the dense waterfall of data combined into a self-operating information matrix, Raiden Mei, whose figure seemed to overlap with the shadow of a white lab coat and glasses, solemnly pressed the Enter key.
"Countdown to the opening of the Ark: 120 seconds..."
"Linking to the Planetary Great Source..."
I have to make it! Raiden Mei's heart pounded, her right fist clenched tightly.
At this moment, Fu Hua, whose face had regained some color, leaned against the wall and stood by the window in the corridor. The instant her gaze swept around, her expression froze.
The moon is slowly veering off its orbit and crashing into the Weilan star beneath their feet.
"Kiana, Sirin, immediately open a space portal to the designated location in New York. We're returning!"
Fu Hua felt a chill in her heart, and her urgent shouts trembled slightly.
Even if the moon were to crash into the earth and there were no impacts, the uncontrolled tidal forces would be enough to raise sea levels to the point of submerging the land!
"[Fire Moth] All units assemble! Except for myself and the flagship Moonlight Throne, return to base immediately for a space landing operation!"
Realizing the seriousness of her lapse in composure, Raiden Mei's expression changed drastically. She initiated a full-frequency communication and issued orders.
Kiana and her two companions frantically calculated and constructed a short-distance Great Wormhole Bridge, tasked with clearing a path for the fleet to land.
"Mei..."
Murata Himeko, having completed her sweep of the outer perimeter, rushed into the control room, her voice low and her eyes revealing worry.
"Everyone, get out!"
Raiden Mei glanced at the gradually stabilizing Great Wormhole Bridge, her expression resolute and determined.
"Don't worry, most of the Dark Elves fleet has been wiped out, and the remaining stragglers pose no threat to me..."
"The Earth needs you more than ever. Let's not let this tragedy repeat itself!"
"Moreover, fifty thousand years ago, I could control the entire situation from the moon and seal [Divine Will]..."
"We can still complete this mission 50,000 years from now!"
Upon hearing this resounding declaration, Murata Himeko was somewhat taken aback; she had almost forgotten...
This child is not only the Hyperion's cook, but also Dr. Mei, who led the Moonlight War 50,000 years ago.
Perhaps only souls that are equally resilient and perceptive can resonate in this way.
It's no wonder I lost to her in my past life...
